There are now over 5,000 medical physicists in the U.S more than 50 times the number in 1958. – John Cameron
When I entered medical physics in 1958 there were fewer than 100 in the U.S. and I could see many opportunities to apply my knowledge of nuclear physics. – John Cameron
The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job. – John Cameron
I have devoted much time and energy to helping medical physics in developing countries. – John Cameron
